Rock Blast (Japanese: ロックブラスト Rock Blast) is a damage-dealing Rock-type multistrike move introduced in Generation III. It was TM54 in Pokémon Sword and Shield, and is TM076 in Generation IX.

Effect

Generations III and IV

Rock Blast inflicts damage, hitting the target 2-5 times per use. There is a 37.5% chance that it will hit 2 times, a 37.5% chance that it will hit 3 times, a 12.5% chance that it will hit 4 times, and a 12.5% chance that it will hit 5 times. Each strike made has an equal chance to be a critical hit.

Rock Blast may continue attacking after breaking a substitute. Bide and Counter will only acknowledge the last strike of this move.

If the user is holding a King's Rock or Razor Fang, each consecutive hit has an equal chance to cause the opponent to flinch.

Pokémon with the Ability Skill Link will always hit five times when using Rock Blast unless it misses.

Rock Blast has an accuracy of 80%.

Generations V and VI

Rock Blast's accuracy increased from 80% to 90%. There is now a 35% chance that it will hit 2 times, a 35% chance it will hit 3 times, a 15% chance it will hit 4 times, and a 15% chance it will hit 5 times. The average total base power (including the 10% base miss chance) is now 69.8.

If a Focus Sash activates before the last strike is dealt, the following strike will cause the defending Pokémon to faint. A Focus Band can still activate repeatedly to prevent fainting, but each chance is independent. Sturdy will activate with each hit if the defending Pokémon has a maximum HP of 1.

If the target has Weak Armor, each strike will activate it.

Generation VII onwards

Pokémon with Bulletproof are immune to Rock Blast. Each strike will now also activate Stamina.

In other games

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon series

Rock Blast inflicts damage, hitting the target 2-5 times per use. Each hit has a separate accuracy check, though the move will continue even when a hit fails. Prior to Gates to Infinity, if a targeted Pokémon faints in middle of the attack and is revived with a Reviver Seed, the remaining hits will be able to continue to attack the enemy. The move's critical-hit rate is reduced (1% in the Rescue Team, Explorers and Adventure Squad series).
